Tdap shot minus the T

Sockgnome78

I am allergic to Tetanus. I asked the OB about it and over heard that they don't have any more. Was told to check with PCP. So I called the nurse there and they were all set to schedule me until I told them about the allergy. They said they don't have it broken down. When I asked where I should go the nurse was not really sure and suggested going to county health.
Now I know I am not the only one in the world to need broken down Tdap shot. But really no one really has an answer for me to go some where.

Thanks @Cantisa‌. Well now I am not sure what I should do. I guess a call into my OB to see what they want me to do.

I would need it without pertussis. When I told my OB that I had a reaction to pertussis as a child, she simply said that I won't get the tdap at all then. When I was a kid they were able to do it, but maybe they don't anymore.

Pertussis is the only reason to get the vaccine during pregnancy.

Pertussis = whooping cough. The other two aren't as necessary right now.

ETA: Agreeing with you, Theresat!

You could also ask your pharmacist.

I got a call back from the OB and they said for me to just skip the shot.
